Recently, on a beer-fueled whim, we asked our friends from Rausgegangen if they wanted to throw a carnival party together. And they did! Well, what can we say except: when two Cologne cultural figures get together, the party is bound to be awesome. That's why we planned big and are celebrating in the heart of Cologne's carnival stronghold: in the new hall at the Comedia Theater (formerly Wagenhalle) in the Südstadt district.

And since all of this is already somewhat megalomaniacal, we just went ahead with the madness and invited even more friends to play their three favorite hits there—a concept that is now as well-known as it is popular: the 30x3 party! Thirty DJ teams from Cologne's cultural scene will each play three hits. So on this Carnival Saturday, smashers follow bangers, smashers follow hits, bangers follow smashers, and so on, without a break. It will be a night that proves that Cologne is definitely the city with the best taste in music per square meter. So there's one person who definitely can't be missing: YOU!

So get your ticket for February 14, 2026, put on your costume, and let's go!

You definitely don't want to miss this:
🎉 The 30x3 party in the heart of Südstadt – packed with all the best music Cologne has to offer.
🎉 The drinks? Fair and easy on the wallet.
🎉 The courtyard? Covered – so we can party in style, whatever the weather!
🎉 And of course, we'll take care of your physical well-being too: hot meals, vegetarian and meat options available.
